ElectrEm is an open source emulator of the Acorn Electron microcomputer, written in C++. It is intended to be portable, and to that end makes use of the SDL, SDL_ttf and zLib libraries.

This, the 'Future' version of the emulator is a radical reworking of the original intended to provide a cleaner, faster code base which is simultaneously more accurate in its emulation. The emulation is 'event based' and respects all timing issues of the original hardware.

It also supports an 'enhanced' operation mode, whereby extended data is piggybacked onto the machine emulation in order to produce an enhanced output display.

Supported file formats at this time are UEF and, for Windows users only, CSW. Once functioning, disc drive emulation will support UEF, ADL/ADM/ADF/SSD/DSD, DSK and FDI. It is hoped that tape formats to be supported in the future will include T2P and WAV.
